VISA
|
When you have obtained your residence permit and proven you have the financial resources necessary to study in Switzerland, you may be able to take a job alongside your studies. In fact, the student residence permit allows for a profit-earning activity, as long your university provides a statement confirming that your employment will not prolong the length of your studies.
For foreign students, the number of weekly work hours is limited to 15, but this is fairly flexible depending on the canton (in Geneva, for example, you can work up to 30 hours per week). Nevertheless, most people will advise you not to take on extra work, since a university workload is generally quite heavy. It is easier to find employment in the large urban centers like Geneva and Zurich. Each university has a job placement office that provides information on student employment. Wages vary between CHF 20 - 35 according to the type of job and your skills.
